It's that time again!

No!
Go listen to him now!
But that's cool. I like Bach and Vivaldi too. It's just that I'm piano-centric, and Chopin was the most thoroughly pianistic composer ever. He composed for the piano as had never been done before. It's awesome stuff.

I love his second piano sonata, the Marche Funebre third movement, and the first movement of his first piano concerto is amazing, but I still haven't listened to enough of his. I always thought Beethoven was fantastic on the piano, followed by Bach for shockingly hard to play yet simple songs, and Mozart just because he was amazing at everything.

His etudes are great.

Beethoven is fantastic, and so is Bach and Mozart, but their piano music is more like orchestral music transcribed for piano than music written for piano. You should also listen to Pictures at an Exhibition by Mussorgsky. That's awesome stuff right there.

i love peanuts and classical! especially motzart and wolfgang amadeus

I really hope you're joking, seeing as Mozart's first two names were Wolfgang Amadeus...

I've heard "The Great Gate of Kiev" from that but haven't heard much else. I'm more of a fan of concertos than anything else, I absolutely adore both piano and violin concertos so it's hard to draw my attention away from that type of music.

Pictures started off as a piano suite but was orchestrated by Ravel. You should definitely give it a listen. I'm more of a fan of small groups like trios and quartets, and I definitely like more modern music like Tchaikovsky, Chopin, Bartok, and other Romantic / contemporary composers.

I didn't actually know that... it would sound very nice as a piano suite too... thankyou for that, I'll have to go track it down at some stage. Yeah, I'm more of the classical era myself, Beethoven and Mozart composed so many amazing pieces that I've heard nothing else like, although the romantic era is also fantastic, I think they moved too far away from what made the classical period amazing and some of the experimental ideas went a bit wrong. Like Tchaikovksys symphonies how they often end on periods of little music or silence rather than with a bang, it seems odd to finish something like that, or Mahler's symphonies how they're very without the distinctive flashes of brilliance that persuades some of the classical era stuff. It's still fantastic, just not as good as what they wrote beforehand.

Oh really? Haha! I can't believe your music teacher wouldn't know that!

Lucy: I try to ask my piano tutor questions so she'll know I'm interested.
Schoeder: What sorts of questions do you ask?
Lucy: I asked her if she'd ever heard of Beethoven...

Hey, stop derailing my thread!

Nah, I'm off to bed anyway, early lectures in the morning. Guess I can't really stop you now

Unfortunately, it's a shame because I really like the thread idea that Trivun has made and think it's a little sad that more people haven't gotten behind it. Pity, because what you did was very nice Trivun, I'd encourage you to keep at it.

And I had absolutely no idea about the Animaniacs reference... Well done for spotting that, you get extra cookies, except I'm off to bed now and can't be bothered to find the cookie picture on Google. Oh well. You got the original reference right too though, so extra points anyway for you .

you made more people post. are you a thread god?

No, I just think that for someone who is really nice like Trivun it was a little sad to see so few people commenting on his well thought out thread, that is all.

Unfortunately that sort of thing is always going to happen, you just have to sort of learn to accept it.
